I might be bitter because i didnt draw anything but these posts are starting to get to me. My advice is to put in for units you know. :twocents:
I don't necessarily agree with this statement. If you know a unit is good, as the desert is, you don't necessarily start scouting and hunting through an area before you draw, that sounds like a waste of time. You would most likely be spending the time scouting in an area you KNOW you're going to be hunting. Once you learn you draw, then you can start scouting.
NOW. That being said, it really bothers me when first posts are where can I find deer/elk/moose/sheep. Getting involved with the site is important. Carbon, see my post on the Toutle. I'm not asking for specific honey holes, just some general information and some idea's on where to set up camp. People are much more willing to respond if you've spent some time on the site.

Damn Carbonkid if you can pull yourself up off the floor after the beating you're taking send me a PM my in-laws have four sections over there I might be able to help
Hey I'm not beating him up I'm telling him what I would like in exchange! You guys should be able to tell by now from my past that I would go help anyone at a moments notice (and have) and there are a few of you on here that know I have given you info by Pm's. That being said I just want to know a little about a mans Character before handing over the info, What's wrong with that? And one way to get an idea about that is if the guy has been on here contributing! After awhile you know if a guy is a jerk or not and then you can decide. We've also seen the guy who asks with one post, gets what he wants and then never post's again :bash: It's nice to hear the success story too.
Sorry about the way this comes off carbonkid like I said before nothing personal. Just get involved, Tell us about yourself, post a story about a previous hunting success so people start to get an idea about the type of person you are and that will go a long way to achieve the type of networking you are looking for. :)

UNDERSTOOD COMPLETELY! :tup:
I WOULD DO THE SAME THING...........NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
If you have SOLID good info you dont want to go around just givin it to anyone...next time you go hunting there it will no longer be a secret or good spot...merely because people talk.
I GOT YOUR BACK MRAY....TOTALLY UNDERSTANDING WHERE YOU WERE GOING WITH THAT ONE. :tup:

My first thought was Wastickslinger playing another joke, but then again stranger people have posted stranger things.
Not me this time Bone :chuckle:
And for the record, WAstickflinger is not me. It is some other :sas: messing with me. And when I find out who it is..... :guns: :violent1: :mgun: :mgun2: :pee:

"accident" = my guess is that he put in with a partner and the partner chooses the deer selections. I do this to my cousin all the time. When we put in for partners, I typically push him one direction or another on certain units depending on the species. Sometimes he pushes me on other species.
Yeah, I know a guy that drew the Watershed tag because his buddy talked him into putting in for a party hunt.

Why are u guys taking him seriously? I think its a joke account or a "troll" account. How do u not mean to draw a desert tag? Unless his dad did it for him.
if it is, then 3 pages later it worked.
it seems that there are better tags in the blues now than the watershed tag....especially with all the restrictions.

Not my usual hunt. I have only been hunting for the last 9 years or so and I've hunted the GMU just NW of Oroville. My usual hunt if pretty elevated with little cover and long views and ive had some good luck. Have always heard how this area is the best draw in the state so I'm obviously excited. I know this GMU is going to be an entirely different hunt so now starts the work. I have some ideas and some buddies from work that know the area pretty well. Plan on doing a lot of scouting and work on this one. A little bummed that it falls over my elk season..... :'(
Anyway. Not asking for anyones honey hole. Just asking for some general good sage advice on the area.
M_Ray...there might be a good bottle of scotch in it for you.

Sorry mray for jumping in this year after my draw , thats how I found out about this forum
No need to apologize to me I don't mind at all if a guy jumps in after his draw that wasn't the point at all ... it's the guy's that do that and then don't post again!!! if your sticking around and showing off your ram you'll be fine! Oh and BTW I have a little inside tip about you :hello: I may also have some info for you about your Ram area :chuckle: seems I scouted it when a buddie of mine drew it in 02 ;) the only reason I couldn't hunt it with him was that I had a Desert tag that same year! :chuckle:

:chuckle: That's ok Not what I'm looking for at all! :chuckle: If you are sticking around I'll most likely tell ya what I know like Wea300 said it's not a huge secret but you can increase your odds by doing the right homework and a few tips on that won't hurt either!
